‘Vampire Diaries’ Recap: The Holidays Bring Death To Mystic Falls

Plus, did Damon man-up and break his sire bond with Elena?
We all knew there’d be death on the Dec. 13 episode of The Vampire Diaries — and there really was so much death — but nothing could have prepared me for how truly sad it was to see a long-time Mystic Falls resident breathe her final breath.

Nina Dobrev & Ian Somerhalder Getting More Serious — Report

The Vampire Diaries stars Ian Somerhalder, 34, and Nina Dobrev, 23, could not be more adorable! They looked like the perfect couple while shopping for a Christmas tree in Atlanta on December 3. Now, an insider is telling Us Weekly that their relationship is better than ever!

Vampire Diaries Damon Elena Season 4 Episode 8

‘Vampire Diaries’ Recap: Will Damon Choose To Let Elena Go?

Damon’s got a big ol’ decision on his hands, and while I’d prefer for ‘Delena’ to live happily ever after, their future together is looking grim.
After learning that the sire bond was all-too-real, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) marched their beautiful mugs down to New Orleans on the Dec. 6 episode of The Vampire Diaries, where they once encountered a similar sitch back in 1942. I was disappointed that they tried to break the bond so quickly, but at least we got one more “Delena” sex scene before they decided to spoil our small amount of fun.

Damon & Elena Vs. Edward & Bella — Who Had Hotter Vampire Sex?

Two iconic vampire couples hit the sheets this November — but which one did it better?
It’s been a busy couple of weeks for Hollywood vampires — and I do mean busy. Earlier this month, Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart) served up one of cinema’s steamiest love scenes in Breaking Dawn Part 2, and just last night, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) finally did the deed on The Vampire Diaries! But which fang-baring couple’s on-screen sex was hotter?

‘Vampire Diaries’ Recap: Damon & Elena’s Relationship Is Doomed

The Stefan-Damon-Elena love triangle took its sharpest turn this week, and I know I’ve said this before, but things will never be the same again. No, seriously this time!
Where do I even begin? The Nov. 29 episode of The Vampire Diaries, as anticipated, was basically an hour-long present for frustrated “Delena” fans — until the very end of course. Just when it seemed Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) had finally achieved their happily-ever-after, a shocking secret about their relationship was revealed.

Vampire Diaries Stefan Elena Break Up

‘Vampire Diaries’ Recap: Stefan & Elena’s Relationship Takes A Dive

Fed up with her mind games, Stefan finally made Elena’s choice for her! Do you think it was the right one?
We have a lot to talk about, Vampire Diaries fans, and I think we all know where to start: Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) finally had “the talk” on the show’s Nov. 15 episode — and it didn’t go too well. In fact, I’m sure there’s a pretty large chunk of the fandom that’s ready to pull an Elena and jump off Wickery Bridge. But like Damon (Ian Somerhalder) told her tonight, “Don’t do it!”

Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 5

‘Vampire Diaries’ Recap: Elena Faces Her First Kill

With her brother’s life at stake (pun!) Elena found herself in a dark place — but did she give in to her murderous urges?
A funny thing happened when Elena (Nina Dobrev) sprouted fangs: People actually started to see some value in her! So when Connor (Todd Williams) took three of Mystic Falls’ finest humans hostage on the Nov. 8 episode of The Vampire Diaries, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) encouraged Elena to help out, despite Stefan’s (Paul Wesley) stern warning. And I’ll give you one guess as to which brother she listened to.
